Wallachia & Bucharest Weather
Vibrant capital, palaces and Prahova Valley ski resorts
Wallachia has the most extreme continental climate in Romania — very hot summers (30–38°C in Bucharest) and cold winters (-5°C average). The Prahova Valley provides mountain contrast just 100km from the capital.
Best time to visit
April–June and September–October for Bucharest. December–February for skiing in Sinaia and Predeal.
Worth knowing
July–August in Bucharest — the city can be oppressively hot. Many locals leave for the mountains or coast.
